Fish CSA Members – Act NOW to get your refund!

Fish CSA members received an email from Village Fishmonger on 12.22 saying the program was going on an indefinite hiatus. If you had money left in your six-month commitment, you need to act now to claim it. All accounts were paused in December, so you won’t be charged for January.
How much money you have left depends on when you signed up and what size share you had, and also if you paid for six months up front or on a month-to-month basis.
Here’s what you must do to get your refund. Note that you will only be able to see your account on the site for the next 2 weeks, so don’t wait!
  • Email VFM at info@villagefishmongernyc.com with subject line “Village Fishmonger CSF Refund” and confirm the name on your account and mailing address. To check that, go to villagefishmongernyc.com and log in; you’ll be taken to the Farmigo site, and there you should click on “Contact Info.”
  • You should expect to receive a refund by mail in the next 4-6 weeks.
If you have any questions, please email mignyc at gmail dot com. I’m looking into new fish CSA providers; please send me an email if you’d like to recommend someone.

    6am. Small group with MeLo and Ro.

    FSQ 195x3x3. Planned for 190 today but was feeling good so I went for 195. All moved well although Ro pointed out that my elbows dipped in the first set, so I focused on that for the next 2 and think they held up well.

    Fitness WOD: 12:00 @ 95#. Burpees resulted in some rest before each snatch set but i kept things moving pretty well.

    Can anyone direct me to the guidelines for the LFPB Challenge "before" photos? I wasn't able to attend the Q&A and I haven't been able to find them online anywhere (yes, I fully expect that I'm missing the blindingly obvious location…).

    Serene is my bro!

    Huge 10 AM class with MeLo and Jeremy. I'm back after several days of being sick and not eating anything but soup, so just managing a real breakfast and making it in today was a win.

    FSQ 170 for the single, 145×12 on the rep out. Technically I should have done 150, but I was really leery of trying too hard today after all the not-eating I've been doing.

    Fitness WOD in 9:38 with 63#. Ugh, this WOD made me feel about the same as I did on day 1 of this illness. Which is to say, no bueno.

    -Mare was kind enough to take some video on the first set. Things are looking a bit more balanced side to side. Def still getting used to the squat with the lift on the right, and I think I will continue to adjust for the next few months. Feels good to have weight on the bar again!

    WOD: did Performance version @ 75# with 1 muscle up attempt after each round…
    Time: 8:50
    -all HPS were unbroken. cycling felt better today than it did a couple weeks ago.
    -failed first 2 attempts, Ro came and gave me a hand under the hips just to get through the transition on the next 2-3 attempts and I was able to dip them out with some kip, a couple more misses on my own after that.
    -apparently I am getting plenty of height, just need to pop the hips, be patient not to pull to early and then just look for my toes and get through. also need to keep them close as I get tired. all of these were pretty darn close, which is comforting since I haven't been working on them at all in the past month.

    fun WOD! I'm sure the burpee version would have been a bit more pain-cave-ish.

    Educational visit with Dr. Fidler tonight. I can never ever go through a repeat of this past week again (had so much back pain I could not go home for Christmas), so I'm going to be taking rehab and mobility seriously for a while. Hopefully I'll see you 6am folks again sooner than later! My New Years resolution is going to be a mix of lfpb challenge, a serious mobility overhaul – and a commitment to journal the whole thing in detail.
